Perrelet Watches Shown At Lussori Store

Recently Perrelet watches had a showing at the Lussori watch store in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California. The event introduced the consumer release of the popular new Perrelet Turbine Watch Collection as well as other luxury watches from the brand. The company is putting a new focus into the American market educating consumers about the value and quality of their watches. Perrelet has further started efforts to make their own watch movements. This is one of the most important steps a luxury brand can take, and the first Perrelet watches with in-house movements are due soon.

Perrelet is making the right decision by choosing to connect closely with watch lovers, so events such as this are a good idea. Brands like Rolex, Breitling, Omega, and IWC all had to put significant efforts into connecting with the watch community before becoming the brands that they are today. Events like this will help Perrelet become better known in the US, like it is in Europe and elsewhere.

Perrelet Watch Event At The Lussori Store In Carmel-By-The-Sea, CA

For all you California based watch lovers, Swiss luxury watch brand Perrelet will be having a special event at the Lussori watch store in Carmel-By-The-Sea, California, this weekend (August 29-30, 2009). There you will be able to see the brand new highly anticipated Perrelet Turbine collection watches, as well as a slew of other brand new Perrelet timepieces. The watch range in price from a few thousand to many thousands of dollars representing a large spectrum of the luxury watch market. Perrelet's founder is notated to have invented the automatic movement (way back when), though at the time of its invention, I believe it was applied to pocket watches as this pre-dated wrist watches.

You know how lovely Carmel-By-The-Sea is, and it is a nice drive there on the weekend to see the sleepy "luxed" out town and check out Perrelet and other fine timepieces at the popular watch store Lussori.

Glashutte Original Sport Evolution Limited Edition Watch Only At Lussori

Filed under: Timepieces / Watches

This fine timepiece from Glashutte Original is in a limited edition of just 15 pieces, each available only at the luxury watch store Lussori that is located in Carmel-By-The-Sea. California. This special version of the Glashutte Original Sport Evolution Panorama Date watch is in the full 18k rose gold case and bracelet, and has a beautiful blue dial and bezel.

Like all Glashutte Original watches, the movements are in-house made in Glashutte Germany. The level of decoration and refinement are impressive. You can see the automatic movement through the case back of the watch (which is still covered in all the protective plastic in the pictures). Holding the watch in your hand you are impressed with the heft of gold. It makes for a highly noticeable watch that you'll notice on your wrist - a good thing in my opinion. While some people enjoy the concept of stealth wealth, others adore having their timepieces be noticed. The various tones of metallic blue on the dial are complimented by splashes of red. The square club hands are easy to read, while the two-disc "panorama" big date at 4 o'clock is a wonderful complication to have in a sport style watch.

Admire the case and you'll notice some of the finer details that you get in German Glashutte Original watch - that you'll never find in a Rolex (which arelower cost watches, though obvious thematic competitors to this timepiece). There is certainly a lot more sophisticated style here in the Sport Evolution than say a Submariner or Yachmaster. Plus you have the Glashutte Original movements that you can't even really compare to Rolex. The case is 42.5mm wide and very well polished and finished with contrasting brushed and polished surfaces. The Sport Evolution bracelet is one of the most interestingly made bracelets available with absolutely no gaps and a complex but smooth feel to it (so characteristically German). If you want one of these lovely numbers, you'll have to talk to or visit Lussori. Retail price is about $40,000 for this all rose gold Glashutte Original Sport Evolution Panorama Date watch.
